Spook House Illusion by Paul Osborne - Trick

Based on the classic Arabian Tent illusion, this Spook House is from the pages of Tom Palmer's popular book, "Modern Illusions", It's an exact reproduction of Tom's house, a Victory Carton illusion and case made from durable, 200 lb. test cardboard. You won't find a more baffling illusion in that the prop is so lightweight, simple and innocent in appearance.

The magician explains that he has made a reproduction of the famous haunted Belasco house. On the stage sits a folded, flat house. Piece by piece the sides and top are shown completely flat and innocent as the house is assembled.

Once all is in place, the roof is opened and ropes are placed inside, but fly out, knotted. Bells and drums are dropped inside and are heard to be playing. Blank slates are placed within, only to be found to have messages on them.

Finally, a full grown ghost appears within the tiny spook house! With this prop you can also perform the ghost switch as described in Mark Wilson's course in magic and on his video. The house weighs maybe 5 lbs. This is not a flimsy cloth prop, but a rigid house that will fit in your Volkswagen Bug and can be carried in backstage under your arm. We supply a complete performance manuscript and the prop comes to you in a reusable case. Truly the most practical illusion you will own and use at an extraordinary price.
